Do Not Drink.
From the New York sun.

With this sudden burst of winter, it is
proper to state emphatically the solemn
fact that the acquisition of alcohol through
the mouth lowers the temperature and
tends to make fellow cold. Science, of
course, does not attempt to contradict the
fact that drink warns one at first, but
the effect is soon gone, and then the drink
er is worse than ever
A specous argument may then be adj
vanced in favor of more drinks, but if you
want to keep warm, or as warm as posi-
BILE don't drink.

pleased with its performance Superintendent

caught readily. 1t fully demonstrated
that with few minor improvements the
coupler would be perfect in its operations. The
points of merit that it does not exceed
in cost the ordinary coupler. that it is a saving
in links and pins that it is adjustable to all cars,
durable and simple. John Bland. who for years
has been car inspector of the c., H & D.. wit

intendent Whitcomb says it is good coupler.
NJ. S Corners. master of transportation on the
c., FL. & /. road, says he was disappointed in it's
workings; it was simple and no more expen-
sive than the ordinary coupler that he had not
taken much stock in it, but when he saw it
work he was satisfied that Mr. Ridenour had
good thing. A company with j. l.. Shore as
secretary. has been formed, which proposes to
push the invention to the front, introducing it
some of the leading roads at once.

hands of Mr.. McKeen president OF the road.
What is better still, the Journal has good author
ity for stating that Mr.. McKeen is not loser in
the deal which mas come to abrupt termina-

Vandalia was terned over to the Ives-Staynor
syndicate Mckeen received $40, 600 In cash and
retained enough stock in the Terre Haute d In
dianapolis road to make him safe in case Ives
failed to pay him according to agreement. From
this it will be seen that Mr.. Mckeen Is ahead
rather than behind in the deal.
